# 4. Medieval Literature

There are three medieval English literary works you can study here. All three of these may feature in your Literary History SE.

Each work is presented as follows:

- Introduction: a basic introduction to the work and why it is relevant to our studies. You will find key terms and phrases to remember in bold italics. These terms and phrases should find their way into your Literary History File.
- Literary fragment(s): one or more fragments from the literary work, translated to a more modern English to make it easier to understand. Often paired with comprehension questions.
- Study questions: one or more questions that analyse the work on a deeper level. The answers to these should be included in your Literary History File.
